RE: counter weight

You will get vibration. You need an aluminum driveshaft and higher gears to avoid vibration when you remove that.

RE: counter weight

Once you change your gears you really don't need it. I have only seen one person who took it off and complained about vibration and put it back on. It weighs 8lbs.
